Recommend a mid sized mid priced hybrid SUV

[Anonymous]

I haven’t bought a car in 15 years, but need one now. What would you recommend for a mid sized mid-priced hybrid SUV?

It’ll be used for city driving during the week plus a number of long road trips each year. We have driveway parking so could do a plug in or bon plug in hybrid. Needs to be hybrid because we don’t want to worry about charging on long road trips.

Highest priority is reliability and a decent sized trunk for camping equipment. What hybrid SUVs do you love?

No suggestions? I figured that hybrid SUV would be a common dcum car!

I love my toyota highlander. I don't have the hybrid model, but they exist.

Highlander or RAV4 are the main candidates. There aren't that many hybrid SUVs.

Get a used Lexus RX hybrid. They are a consumer reports top choice for reliability and about 1000x more comfortable than the Highlander (which drives like a truck IMHO and makes me car sick)

How can you desire such a boring car? Are you on antidepressants? As the writer put it, I'd rather watch paint dry.

I love my Lexus.

And with the "dealer convenience" fees on the Rav4 and the Highlander- the Lexus IS cheaper

What? Are you expecting a car that shoots a fireworks show out of its tailpipe?

OP, I don't have a hybrid SUV but have heard good things about the Rav4Prime phev. I own a phev car and really enjoy driving it and it has cut my gas consumption by 2/3rds.
